Vulnerability Scanning

Why It's Important

There are two main reasons why Vulnerability Scanning is important: 1) it is required for compliance with requirements such as PCI, HIPAA, GLBA, or SOX or 2) to evaluate any vulnerabilities in your new or changing networks. Detecting vulnerabilities and taking corrective action is important to any information security program and essential in protecting valued data assets from internal and external threats.

How We Can Help

Our Vulnerability Assessments include a thorough evaluation of the target systems for known and newly-discovered vulnerabilities. This assessment includes automated scanning techniques that determine any abnormal or insecure protocols, ports, services, and system configurations.

The assessment involves:

Foot Printing

Port Scanning

Services Identification

Vulnerability Identification and Research

Findings Report

Remediation Recommendations

Internal

These assessments can be conducted from an internal perspective where we approach from inside the organization, much like a disgruntled employee would.

External

We can also conduct the assessment from an external perspective where we approach from outside of the organization, much like an internet-based attacker would.
